SURGING INTEREST IN “PRICE GUARANTEE” A SIGN OF THE TIMES

Monday, March 01, 2010

One local Unley real estate agency is offering what is believed to be a first for an agent in this area -a Guarantee of price and perfomance to people selling their properties.

Announcing the introduction of their new guarantee, Kevin Walter from Walter and Irvine Real Estate said that this unique service was designed to reduce the worry and uncertainty of selling a home. Walter and Irvine clients not only have their agreed selling price guaranteed, but they avoid the situation of getting “locked in” to continuing to use an agent if they change their minds

“For most Vendors selling a property is a stressful time, and particularly so in these challenging economic times” he said. “sometimes the agent and the owner don't see eye to eye. We often hear of cases where the owners are unhappy with their agent and want to change, but can't because they are locked in to a contract for a certain period of time.”

In cases like this, an owner has only two choices. Either stay with the agent they are not happy with or withdraw the property from sale and in most cases pay for advertising expenses.

“Well not with us” said Kevin. “we set out in writing what we are going to do for an owner and if we don't live up to our promises then the owners can give us notice to fix the problem or they can dismiss us if we don't. Walter and Irvine does not charge ANY sales fee or marketing expences if the property remains unsold.

Kevin was then asked if he had ever had any owners who were unhappy when he was their agent.

“Yes we do. But not many” he answered straight away. “When you sell as many properties as we do at Walter & Irvine you get the occasional person who might be unhappy. The majority people who choose to Sell with Walter & Irvine are extremely happy and even delighted, and this is shown in the pages of client testimonials and glowing thank you letters delivered to our office. This guarantee is one way of making sure that we can offer the very best service”.

It seems like Walter & Irvine Real Estate has come up with something that's sure to prove very popular with people selling their properties in a tough market.

Their new advertising campagn promoting the price guarantee -along with their brand new website specialising in local properties -is certainly creating a lot of interest in the market.
